Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Jim=2CSince you asked so nicely=2C Matt Dralle is the person that built the Pietenpol list that all of us use to get information to each other about building Pietenpols and other types of aircraft on other user lists. He is knows how to put together a computer network and secure the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to keep it running smoothly. Not an easy or inexpensive task. He provides the equipment and pays for the ISP and does not charge for his service. No one has to pay him anything. However=2C since is is so expensive to operate=2C he does have a fundraiser in November to help defer expenses. Since I am on several of his users groups=2C I am happy to donate. I know there are many who just want to build a Pietenpol and don't care where they get the information and that is okay. Most of us find the list to be a great way to avoid making mistakes and ending up as a safety statistic...MaxDate: Tue=2C 26 Nov 2013 06:24:41 -0800

I'm guessing that Matt Dralle won't be getting a Christmas card from Jim Hyde this year or Bob Nuckolls.I also would assume that Matt has already removed Jim from this list for his eloquent all-caps post.As for the rest of you Infidels, A very Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving to you all!Mike C. in Ohio________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: flop latch

Original Posted By: "taildrags"
As usual, opinions will vary. Scout had latches for the flop but I never latchedthem. The flop never bounces while taxiing (at least not that I ever noticed),and it never lifts in flight... but then again I can't remember ever goinginverted or pulling negative Gs. I removed the latches, which were simple brassslides from the hardware store, but it is undoubtedly more secure to latchthe flop.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Jim's Hyde

For as long as I've been on this list (15 years-?), this is the first time I canremember seeing that type of outburst from anyone on the Piet list. I knowtempers have flared from time to time and people have come and gone for variousreasons, but by and large this is a very decent and emotionally stable group.I know some irascible builders though, and that doesn't detract from their skills,ingenuity, or enthusiasm for the Pietenpol. So, let's don't tack Jim's hideto the wall just yet, please.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
